The 1:4 Gallery was designed for a private collector who needed more and better space for his collection of works by Donald Judd, Remi Zaugg, and Richard Serra. The brief was to convert his villa into an art gallery that could switch from the public feel of a museum to a loud yet intimate party space when required – an architectural game in which three typologies are stacked within one building. Almost every element in the 1:4 Gallery is based on the proportional relation 1 to 4: the light openings in the ceiling are 800mm x 3200mm, as are the sofas, table, and bar. The latter, made

Natalia Goldin Gallery (STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN)2003

This permanent light installation for Gallery Natalia Goldin is based on the geometrical underpinning for Erik Gunnar Asplund¹s famous central library in Stockholm ¬ the fact that the area of a square inscribed in a circle inscribed in a square will be half of that of the larger square. A rare combination of precision, technique, invention, and originality provides the foundation for a simple yet advanced lighting system, in which different light atmospheres can be created using a sequence of light sources. An economical solution that elevates conventional means into an extraordinary result.

Gallery Nordenhake (STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN)2006-2007

Gallery Nordenhake (STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN)2006-2007

Erik Andersson Architects have worked with Galerie Nordenhake on several projects, and designed their previous Stockholm Gallery on Östermalmsgatan. The new Nordenhake gallery on Hudiksvallsgatan provides a suite of large rooms, which can accomodate exhibitions of the scale and ambition for which Nordenhake’s Berlin and Stockholm galleries are well known. The ground floor of 300 square meters is divided into 2 connected galleries and a showroom, providing the possibility of a single large exhibition or smaller parallel shows. The whole gallery is

realised within existing structures. All the galleries have museum standard floors and loading capacity. The office and the storages are located around the gallery rooms.

Studio Håkan Rehnberg (STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN)2001

For some twenty years, Swedish artist Håkan Rehnberg has devoted himself to finding and keeping his balance on the sharply drawn line where painting meets architecture. Yet, the design of his own studio was one that he wished to address without an architectural a priori and so Erik Andersson Architects were brought in to conceive of a new working space. It was clear from the outset that this was not to be a space in which to view art, but one in which art is to be made. The resulting lighting system is a study in how to carefully combine daylight with artificial light; it simultaneously functioned as a kind of precedent study for the planning of Gallery Brändström & Stene with its concept of naked lighting. Diffusing glass doors conceptually link the lighting scheme to Rehnberg’s art, while the act of focusing

only on one quality of the space, its light, can be seen as a precursory step towards later non-totalitarian architectural actions; the walls were not even repainted. The spectacular simplicity lends the space a peacefulness and concentration hardly ever offered in conventional artists¹ studios. The fluorescent lights are of the same type that is used in colour laboratories.
